Teaching style
We believe that students learn best when they have an interest in the topic, lots of choice about how they learn and a chance to use their creativity. We believe in differentiating instruction, but know how time-consuming that can be. We designed these “Explorations" projects to allow students dig more deeply into an interesting topic tied to national content standards. For those of you looking for a thoughtful, high level whole class approach, we have designed “Investigations" and "Inquiry Projects." Tailor them to meet your needs.
